Poland's police chief Jarosław Szymczyk was rushed to the hospital with minor injuries after a gift he received from Ukraine exploded, European media reported.

The blast occurred on Wednesday morning at the police headquarters in Warsaw, the Polish Interior Ministry said.

“One of the presents the police chief received during his working visit to Ukraine on December 11 and 12 exploded,” said a statement from the Polish Interior Ministry. 

Szymczyk had met the heads of Ukraine’s police and state emergency services during the visit and the present was a gift from one of the heads of Ukraine’s services, the ministry said.

A civilian employee also suffered minor injuries but did not require medical treatment. The police headquarters building also suffered damage, said euronews.

However, what kind of object had exploded was not revealed by Polish authorities. 

In the meantime, Polish authorities have sought clarification from Ukraine regarding the incident.
